I'm pretty sure that summers before kids usually meant road trips, campfires, and beach days. Don't get me wrong, we still do all of that, but things have changed just a little.
For all the parents out there spending this summer worried about pee in the pool, road trip snacks, and how much sunscreen a kid really needs, these pictures are for you!

Hope The Kids Don't See Me Out There... I'm Not Sharing The Marshmallows
I hid in a refrigerator box in the back yard and I heard voices, where is mommy ? I don't know, she was here a few minutes ago, maybe she is in the garage or the back yard, send the dogs to find mom, I cringed at that and the next thing there are three noses inside the box, large border collie mix Shepard, gray hound mix lab, massive mix ? HOT, I can't breath they are making themselves comfortable tails wagging on the outside of the box and I hear, FOUND HER !
Summers Are Made For Ice Cream... Period!
Everything And Anything Must Go!
Having kids hasn't taken ALL of her time - she still has plenty to set up all these photos!
Don't be a cynic :) We know what her point is, and truth be told, the set up does not look like a very demanding one :)

I’m sure kids are time consuming but there are millions of parents who still make time for friends and hobbies. Every moment isn’t meant just for your children. Mothers are still people.
Speaking from second hand experience. Most of these mothers' friends are mothers too and they hang out in the park or at each other's home with both of their kids by their side. When the kids get old enough for kindergarten, then they can think about other kinds of friendship, hobbies, even employment. Her toddler doesn't look like kindergarten age yet. So for now she doesn't have that time yet. Although, as we see, maybe for hee hobbies a little bit, since she's taking these photos and posting them online. I believe she will become one of the milions of parents you're talking about when the kid gets old enough, but for now it must be feeling like an eternity for her.

Going To The Beach? Perfect Let Me Just Grab Every F***ing Thing My Kid Needs
I'm imagining that is hard cider and it is for the mom to be able to handle the kids
I love the look of exhaustion and terror and hopelessness on her face. That how summer is. I applause the teachers for putting up with our kids all year long they are amazing people!
i feel so guilty, in retrospect, for the size beach bag my mom used to haul to the beach. My dad carried the chairs and the enormous metal umbrella, and I complained about having to carry my own bag of sand toys. They told me flat out: if you want to play with them, you have to carry them yourself. I thought it was so MEAN. I'd completely do the same to any kid today. Just load them up like a tiny burro.
Are We There Yet?.. How About Now?
We literally had just backed out of the driveway onto the street when my two-year old asked if we were almost there.
The Kids Stand Was A Bust, Let Me See If I Can Help Them Out
Anyone With A Green Thumb Out There? Help Me!
I always say it's because humans will let you know when they're hungry & thirsty. If my plants would remind me, I would be a better plant mother.
Because plants need love too! :) Bigger pots when they grow, fertilizer, new ground, water :P
My mother was awful with gardening and no one in the family helped her. But I really appreciate that she never gave up and she still tries to grow living plants at her garden even though it usually fails. I also try nowadays grow something on my balcony every summer but that usually fails. :)
Is she really sporting armpit hair? I don't get this trend.. Stop trying to make female body hair a thing!
Female body hair IS a thing. It exists. You may like it or not - but it is real.

These are jokes. And your infertility doesn't mean everyone else has to forgo acknowledging the funny difficulties of parenting.

Ouch... Birkenstock sandals and white tennis socks. So 80s. I've been there myself, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. I was young once too.
Pina Colada Anyone?
You seem to love pineapples way too much.. I remember that pineapple tattoo guy..
There is so no such thing as way too much. Why you have something against another person's passion is fascinating to me.

It's not hard to get out there and adventure with kids! I've got two toddlers we go everywhere together :). Just means more hustling haha
Yeah. My parents always said its more fun with the kids and took us out with them on their dates when they didnt need to. But cuz of that i always have fond memories of my parents
Load More Replies...Of course they are. You think people carry around a board to put letters on before taking a picture? Or maybe it was just the wrong choice of word?
Load More Replies...They are just funny photos. I'm sure she loves her kids and do't regret having them. But sometimes people need to vent.
Load More Replies...Wow guys this was a persons actual project here. Not a Bored Panda Staff post. Why so mean? Instead of bored may say would you think about the good parts are things you think would have made it a better post. I would hate to be treated this way in person. I though the pictures were quite funny.
